Speaking of escalators: I've *never* seen the down escalator at the
Pentagon City Metro working on the side of the station for riders
going into DC.  Has anyone seen a functional down escalator there? 
		 	
	Considering that Pentagon City is the closest Metro accessible
full-fledged shopping mall for many folks from DC, this seems screwy.
More than once I've seen people struggling  to pick up luggage
carriers and loaded shopping carts that would be no problem at all if
the escalators were running. I'd guess this could also drive people
with strollers a bit mad. Anyone know anything?
